text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - Charlotte NC or DC Metro preferred, remote ok.<p>I&#x27;m building a small team of designers and developers to pilot a new business line for a mature ecommerce company (&gt;$150MM annual revenue and growing fast). We&#x27;ll be expected to ship quickly to prove the market, which means pragmatists are better than idealists and generalists better than specialists.<p>Preference for Rails, but building fresh so the right team could sway us. There will be a heavy client-side JS component. No short term plans for iOS or Android, but feel free to reach out because that won&#x27;t be too far behind.<p>Agencies welcome, but odds are if your agency comes with a lot of the typical agency cruft, we won&#x27;t be a good fit.<p>If interested in learning more, reach out to me at chris@databoxdigital.com

text: Remote<p>I&#x27;m based in NY (though you can be anywhere) and am looking for a freelancer to code with me on an enterprise HTML5 mobile application project. I&#x27;m looking for someone with good experience building single page apps with frameworks like Sencha Touch and Backbone.js. It would also be great if you were a Rails developer (though this is not a necessity) as the backend will be built as a Rails API server. The project will run for 3+ months and part-time would be workable. If this could work for you please contact me at barry[at]barrypeerless[dot]com. I look forward to connecting. Thanks!

text: SEEKING FREELANCERS - Portland, OR - Remote OK<p>Work on untapped aspects of Bitcoin with Python, GNU&#x2F;Linux.<p><a href="http://electrum.org" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;electrum.org</a><p>Developed by a brain researcher to satisfy his own need for a memory-based Bitcoin backup system, Electrum is known for its mnemonic restore function, which enables secure Bitcoin storage without a PC, smartphone or Internet connection.<p>Electrum was designed to be a simple, easy to use Bitcoin &quot;thin client&quot;. Satoshi Nakamoto himself advocated for such a client on the original cryptography mailing list. [0] This is what Electrum is.<p>As a next step, I want Electrum to store, sync and share encrypted data. Electrum&#x27;s label sync plugin [1] is already accomplishing encrypted data storage and sync. However, I want to make the label sync plugin more automated and versatile. For example, I want the signup process to be seamless and automated. I also want to be able to selectively share data, perhaps with some basic access controls. Bonus points if we can store data on federated servers or some other P2P solution.<p>In particular, it&#x27;s possible to do (and to automate) data storage account signups with challenge-response authentication via Bitcoin message signing [2]. In theory, it&#x27;s also possible to do automated SSH authentication with Bitcoin message signing. To me, this is one of the most important, untapped aspects of Bitcoin.<p>When you combine such an authentication scheme with Electrum&#x27;s mnemonic restore function, you end up with a secure way to maintain access to all kinds of data from one seed phrase, and one application, without hardware or software. Effectively, Electrum can act as a portable API control center, granting you access to just about <i>any</i> type of data, on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and iOS. It could be files, emails, passwords, messages, to-do lists; there is vast potential here.<p>I&#x27;d like to hear from you if you&#x27;d be interested in working on such a system.<p>As we&#x27;re already working closely with members of the Kivy core team, front end &#x2F; pure GUI work is mostly covered. Automating Bitcoin message signing auth, and implementing encrypted data store + sync + share is needed. Systems engineers and talented Python devs would be a welcome addition to this project. Of course, if you have other skills that are a fit for this, feel free to get in touch.<p>We&#x27;re lucky in the sense that Bitcoin enables us to introduce financial compensation for open source work, which is exactly what this is.<p>Here&#x27;s how to contact me:<p>echo YW5keUBzaWVycmEzZC5jb20K | base64 -d<p><a href="https://github.com/atweiden" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;atweiden</a><p>[0]: <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg09964.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.mail-archive.com&#x2F;cryptography@metzdowd.com&#x2F;msg099...</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://labelectrum.herokuapp.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;labelectrum.herokuapp.com&#x2F;</a><p>[1]: <a href="https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/blob/master/plugins/labels.py" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;spesmilo&#x2F;electrum&#x2F;blob&#x2F;master&#x2F;plugins&#x2F;lab...</a><p>[2] <a href="https://www.b1txr.com/" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.b1txr.com&#x2F;</a>
